Sims 3 Direct-X 11 Patch is Needed
I don't know about anyone else, but I believe that a Direct-X 11 Patch is needed to bring the game into the future, because it have been more than 13 years since EA Games abandoned The Sims 3 for greed (aka The Sims 4). Other games in the Sims series have gotten a patch for playing on newer systems, but the Sims 3 seems to have been left out of these updates for some reason. I'm playing the game currently on a newer gaming system with a Nividia RTX-2060 Super graphics card, and the systems lags terribly, but I believe that this lag has more to do with the fact that the game can't handle this newer graphics card, but is looking for something a bit easier to handle. I have done everything on my end to make the game run smoothly from adding Direct-X 9 to my system files and adjusting the compatibility settings for the to Windows 8 and also restricting the number of colors for the game to 256, but only a patch from EA Games will allow this game to run better on this graphics card. Plus EA Games owe it to us players that have purchased their games over the years to patch this game so we can play the game, and not be forced into buying the Sims 4 with their multi-dollar price tag for all those expansion packs, bundles, stuff packs, and kits, in my opinion only created for the money and not for the enjoyment. From what I have heard for reading on different sites is that many players are disappointed with the Sims 4, because it removed the open neighborhoods, and went back to loading screens for going from lot to lot, unlike what happens in the Sims 3. I for one, really liked the open neighborhoods and this is why I won't play the Sims 4. Another current problem in the Sims 3, seems to be that the in-game network seems to keep crashing, and the EA Advisors don't know how to fix this kind of issue when it comes to the fact that it's not always at the players end involving this issue. This server issue started when EA Games placed this second server sign-in with-in the game to start with, because now a player must sign-in to the EA Games App, then also sign into the game on the launcher, making for a game that needs both servers to be working properly in order to use "Simport" in the game, plus to make purchases from the Sim Store. Although the second server doesn't effect the gameplay, it's always nice to be able to play or chat with others while in the game. Forgive me for going on so long, but I needed to get these issues off my chest, and put it into written form for others to see, so now I'll close this opinion.
Sims 3 Mega Edition?
Hello, I've been wondering about it for years now, especially now, but I wonder if we will ever get a Sims 3 "Mega Edition" that includes everything that it can. I imagine it including everything from the store, all expansions, every stuff pack along with sliders to turn features on and off before launching. The Sims store doesn't work very well and is always laggy, the Sims 3 needs dozens of mods to barely work, and for the steam version you can't play it on a steam deck. It would be awesome to have a remastered Sims 3 with everything we need, along with working for newer systems and the steam deck. I feel it would get a lot more people into the game that can't or haven't before. The Sims 3 is one of my favourite games that I've spent a lot of money and hours on. Buying physical and digital items. I honestly wouldn't mind to have everything all in one place instead of jumping between my physical copies and my digital copies. Many Pc's also don't come with a CD drive anymore, so it limits players in that way as well. The "Mega Edition" could also include graphical fixes for modern devices. It honestly makes the most sense to do for how old the Sims 3 is now. I think it deserves some love for being such an awesome game. It would also be cool if they included the world builder into the game since the version they have is hard to understand. It would probably be a bit of work, but I'd honestly be up to purchase a "Mega Edition" of the Sims 3 if it came to be.
What Did You Buy from the Sims 3 Store Today?
Is anyone else actively watching the Daily Deals and purchasing store content? I've been spending about 25-50 points a day, and I have been getting about 2 larger sets a week for free. Thank you SO much RadicalChick for posting the deals everyday! Tomorrow afternoon, I should be able to get this set for free. Which should then set me up to get some larger sets for free. I am pretty excited about that. My favorite gameplay is rags-to-riches and apocalypse themes, so I prefer to buy things that will look the most interesting and authentic after I have used the color wheel to use a grunge pattern. The Mid-Century stuff will look great as grunge objects! 424 ) A Mid-Century Modern Trailblazer Set / 468 / 1250 / 63% / 2 hours Part of: When Worlds Collide Collection Repeat Deal: This is a medium price for this item (More than # 689, # 576, but less than # 551) Recently I got Man Cave for free. 386 ) Man Cave Compilation / 750 / 3000 / 75% / 2 hours Not part of any set or compilation Includes: It's Game Time; Level Up Collection; Championship Dreams Repeat Deal: This one of two deals with the least expensive price for this item (Same as # 714 but less than # 339, # 336) Island Villa was free for me and now Island Escape Compilation should be free when it goes on sale. 365 ) Island Villa / 98 / 347 / 72% / 2 hours Part of: Island Escape Compilation; 4 items included in Sandy Shoals Sea Shanty Repeat Deal: This is the least expensive price for this item (Less than # 451, # 459) And I splurged on the Now and Then Manor. I really wanted the grunge items. 390 ) The Now & Then Century Manor / 494 / 1900 / 74% / 2 hours Not part of any set or compilation Repeat Deal: This is the least expensive price for this item (Less than # 404, # 715)

Spring Discount Shows But Charges Full Price
Hi! On my EA account, all Sims 3 packs show as part of the Spring Discount. I tried to buy Supernatural, which looked on sale for $10, but at checkout it charged me $20 instead of the discounted price. I’ve requested a refund, but I don’t understand why the discount isn’t applied. The homepage shows the Spring Discount, but it disappears at payment. Can someone help me understand this or fix it? Thanks!
